The experience was something special. The breakfast and dinner were amazing, especially dinner felt like a feast. It was a 10/10 meal. The rooms were spacious and the location is perfect, right next to the main points of interest. There are a few activities included, such as meditation, morning prayer and the fire ritual, all not to be missed. The staff is very attentive and super kind.

Outstanding and unique experience. Warm welcome (we arrived early and were able to check in immediately). Good location for exploring Koyasan town. Beautiful surroundings, stunning interior decor in the dining rooms, nice onsen, astonishingly good vegetarian food. The temple master made us feel very welcome at the prayer service and explained everything. Super friendly staff and smiling monks :)

The train and cable car were thrilling.
The train and cable car were thrilling. The forest surroundings gave the town a cozy feel and kept the air so fresh.. The English Guide Club provided a very knowledgeable guide, Mayumi. I learned much more than what you find in books. The burial site is really amazing - a must see. There are some great coffee shops too. It's worthy of a repeat visit.DaryllCanada - 8.0Scored 8.0
This temple is very remote.
This temple is very remote. The area is beautiful and the hiking was great. There is an extra tour option of the cemetery. I thought with the price we were paying that this tour should have been included.AAnonymousUnited States - 8.0Scored 8.0
Pretty town, huge graveyard, worth exploring but just one...
Pretty town, huge graveyard, worth exploring but just one day needed - Either pay for the decent hotels and experience the true temple koyasan experience or book a lodging and explore the area. Our expensive (but cheapest temple room) felt super touristy and set up. Food was awful. - Its pretty long to get there from Osaka also.

I would definitely recommend the experience of staying one...
I would definitely recommend the experience of staying one night at any of the temples and also the Okonuin Night Tour is a real must! Apart from one person and the Guide (Nobu) the staff of Eko-in was somewhat arrogant and be prepared for an uncomfortable and short night, but a delicious and huge dinner and breakfast. The sights and nature are stunning and beautiful, really serene and perfect to contrast the buzz of every big City. We bought the digital Heritage Pass and tool the Limited Express Train to Koya, I would recommend! Apart from the Bus from the Cable Car to our Temple we walked to every sight by foot, since they are not far from each other and the whole town is a complex of a „Sight“. The Tokugawa Mausoleum was especially astonishing, since it’s full of Japanese history. We will absolutely visit Koyasan again, but I would not choose a Templestay again.IvanaAustria - 10Scored 10
Okunoin Cemetery night tour is a must do activity.
Okunoin Cemetery night tour is a must do activity. So much of our understanding of Japanese Buddhism and Koyasan’s role in its history was informed by the monk who was our guide. We checked out Okunoin Temple and the cemetery the next day, too. It is a very special place.

It is imperative to stay in a temple - the vegetarian meals...
It is imperative to stay in a temple - the vegetarian meals at our temple were delicious and had many courses. The town has so many temples and good hiking opportunities, we could have stayed longer - but my husband was too much of a foreigner to stay in the temple for two nights. The wonderful Okunoin Cemetery and shrine with an ancient forest was a special treat - we spent an entire morning there, and it was a nice surprise that the buddhist monks take their stewardship of the natural environment so seriously that there is even a forestry department of the temple. Other temples were equally awe-inspiring.SarahUnited States

- 7.8Scored 7.8GoodRated good· 71 reviewsI really liked the food, especially the dinner - it was amazing! The futons were fluffy and the public bath was nice. I really enjoyed watching some TV after eating dinner and warming up in a hot bath. The monks were polite and answered all of our questions- I did not experience any rudeness that the other reviews are talking about. They even told us a lot about the current state of the temple after the morning ceremony was over.
DariaJapan - 8.9Scored 8.9FabulousRated fabulous· 301 reviewsThis property offers a unique experience, staying at a Buddhist Temple. The half board inclusion is Japanese vegan food, reflective of what the priest and monks eat every day. It was well prepared and enjoyable.Although they don’t consume alcohol it can be purchased at a reasonable price during dinner. The spacious accommodation is operated by trainee monks who were very friendly and make us feel most welcome.GideonAustralia

The morning ceremonies were definitely an important part of the experience. The place felt much less crowded compared to the other temple stays that we passed by in town, which we really appreciated. It has a nice garden and a relaxing indoor onsen, available for guests in the evenings.NimishaCanada

Spacious rooms with tatami flooring and comfortable futon beds.There were several restaurants nearby, so we didn't need to rely on konbini food for dinner - would recommend Ponpoko which was 300m away.

LalainePhilippines - 9.1Scored 9.1SuperbRated superb· 154 reviewsKoyasan is an experience that you should not miss. This temple is in a good location, close to a bus stop, but you can also walk to the cemetery. The morning ceremonies were an awesome experience, and the food was great! Room was as expected, very traditional and very very cold at night.
AnneGermany - From € 306.31 per night9.0Scored 9.0SuperbRated superb· 519 reviewsBoth the temple and Koyasan itself are beautiful and peaceful, offering an escape from the modern world. While it is rather pricey compared to usual accomodation in Japan, it is a temple and as such offers an experience, not just accomodation. In my opinion this justifies the price.JureAustria
